Where do babies come from? Be careful whom you ask. The Kinda Sutra, a hybrid doc short, explores the eternal question: how are babies made? A diverse collection of people, from kids to seniors, reveal their misconceptions about conception. Kama-Sutra-inspired animation brings these stories to life, highlighting the universal confusion about sex and what it actually takes to make one of us. —Telluride Film Festival
